THE country bss Seen no auch indus
trial conflict as that which mas opened in
Chicago between the employers and the
wsge.esrners in the building trades. 1t is
essentially q case OF diamond cut dis-
mond. The wage. earners organized
against the employers, and welded the
weapon Of the strike. The employers Or
ganizs against the wsee-earners and
WELD the weapon Of the lockout. The
right Of the one is as unquestionsble as
the right Of the other. Neither method
is the rational way to settle business
question neither contributes to the pnblic
welfare.
Organization amongenployes for odense
and defense ia not new, but it never hes
been eeen before on 80 comprehensive a
acale, with go cloae attention to the mi.
nutest details or in 80 determined spirit.
Every approach seems to be guarded.
The wage esrners, too, appear to be reso-
Lutte and atrong. The Issue depends upon
the one question Of endurance. The
merits OF the controversy are oyersbad-
owed by the preparations for fight to
the death. Such q clash will not be with
out good result, however costly it may be,
if it teach each side that the other has
rights and that it is better to recognize
these rights before resorting to the violent
disturbance OF the strike or the lockout.

turn to tho Order.
New YoRH, May l7.-For about the
tenth time in two yoara, the case Of the
Montsuk Association, Knights oil Labor,
in Brooklyn, in its struggle for separate
existence from Diutrict Assembly 40, OF
this city, was rchearaed las: night, and the
conclusion was the sans as on all previous
occaHione.
T. B. Barry and T. B. Mcclure were ap.
pointed a special committee OF the Gen.
eral Executive Board to make the inyes.i.
CATION, and they met committees from the
Brooklyn Association and 10 in Pythsgo.
ras Hall, last night. The two sides Of the
controversy were ably represented, but
tho result was apparently foregone con.
clusion. It was reported after the meet.
ing that tho Montanks would not get a
charter, and as the local assemblies com.
prising the association have been euspend-
ed, and are not, therefore, considered
members Of the order, it remains for them
to declare wins. they will do now.
1t was eaid that Mr.. Maguire asked the
Bfooklynites, among other questtons,
whether they would return to the fold Of
~. They said they would not, neither
would they pay up their dues to that as
sembly. 1t was stated that they had per.
formed all the duties Of knishthood, ind
had done nothing 10 forfeit their member
ship. They desired only homo rule, and
il they did not have that they wonid get
along outside the order, Their field was
Brooklyn and Long Island, which WIS
large enough for them, sud there was
plenty Of work to do there. They were
determined to do their best for labor and
could exist regardless Of tho order.

He declares himself an American Of the

Demands,

Demands. b.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE conditions Of the
lockout arc stlll practically unchanged.
Both sides remain firm and give no indi.
cation to come 10 an understanding and
resume work.
The bfieklsyers declare themselves as
ready TO work ios any employer who
agrees to pay on Saturday. They, admit
that the demand which Rt fret caused tho
lockout 10 not now the question at issue,
Many Of them, especially tho Germans,
would be inclined to recede from their
lateat demand and 20 to work but for the
iacs OF their baying learned tha! the Mag
ter Buildera will insist on looping OF
many OF the cherished privileges of the
union,
This attempt to Curtail the away OF the
union, LIS members declare, they arc pre-.
pairing to resist TO the last extremity.
The master carpenters, the lime dealers,
the master painters, the stone quarry men,
and In TACT all contractors, have come TO
tho conclusion that now is their turn TO
mnke demands on their mon. Thls will
formally be done at the meeting Of the
representatives Of tho various trades Mt the
Builders Exchange tomorrow. Three
delegates will be present from each trade.
and code Of laws for the government Of
employer and enploys will thcn be per
fected.
A master mason, who has taken an &C.
tive part in the recent proceedings Of his
association said that tho code, among
other things, would insist on the right oi
the master mssons to engage all the 40.
prentices they can work, that the walking
delegate must he abolished, and that The
foreman mnat not belong to uslopa. All
workmen who apply for employment and
who profess their willingness to submit 10
the terms OF the code will then be pu. 10
work.
The employees repudiate the accusation
that they are engaged in crusade sgainst
unions. On the contrary they Gay they
are strongly in favor OF well conducted
unions. They freely admit the wisdom OF
men combining for their protection and
advancement, but they claim that tho
union, by it's arbitrary demands aud ab.
surd proceedings has become intolerable,
and as tho reformation which it needs to
make 1t beneficial to its members cannot
be effected from within, they propose TO
accomplish it.
The brickisyers act as il the present
eituation to them is quite agreeable, and
that they are eatis6ed with the prospects
for the future. They say word hns been
received from the Executive officers Of the
International organization announcing
that hone of its members would come to
Chicago to take the place Of tho men
locked out.
A large number Of men left tho city
yesterday. They went to Sycamore, H.,
to Omaha and Wichita, kes., where work
had been occurred.
